NO AUGUST MEETING

There is no meeting in August. Members will instead be participating in a guided walk around the Swindon Railway Village.

MUSEUM OPEN

The Museum is open for the summer season from 2pm to 4pm every Saturday from

19 April until 27 September 2025.

Exhibits this year will cover an archaeological map of the area,

a look back at the Spearhead festival held in the village in 1975,

and an exhibit to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

The display featuring the railway has been revamped to include a 'then and now' section,

and we also have a new volume of village photographs available to view.

We look forward to seeing old and new friends!
